A little late to ask but is anyone going to be on this Friday? I'll get on as soon as I'm done with work if so. I did have a look for the server last night and did find it (why no dearch option!!!) but couldn't get in as the SA is set at 50 and I have not raced enough to get to that yet.

You would think there isn't a search option but there actually is! I found out totally on accident the other night. If you go into the server list above the top server there is a search bar you can hit up one more time to get to then hit A to type. Just another instance of them not changing the UI for console users and leaving it as is from the PC version.

Ah OK thought it was odd, I'll look there next time but I'll need to get more racing under my belt to up my SA before I look at the server Wayne setup. I didn't find the SA going up much with the AI racing I was doing a while ago and the public lobbies just ended with me being punted off at the start each time so I gave up on it.

Sorry guys haven’t had much spare time to get on this last week, this weeks not looking good either as I’m working lates. I will remove the safety rating so you guys can get the most out of it. Give me a shout if you want a different track loaded

Give me a shout if you want a different track loaded Just reading through this, thanks for setting up a server. Some people that raced in the Grid Choice series would probably be interested in setting up an every other Saturday race, and at least one also has a server. Friday nights are typically out for me, but I'll keep an eye out here and check the server.

I did test out the server last week and it all worked fine 👍. Only ended up racing with one other guy though as others that joined left before the race started.

We will have to see what we can do after Le Mans. Seems like quite a few aren't doing the next PC2 series, so an ACC series would be great. It's going to be tough for me to commit to anything other than an occasional one off race here and there for me right now, but ACC has potential.

It's going to be tough for me to commit to anything other than an occasional one off race here and there for me right now, but ACC has potential. The NASCAR at Daytona event will run a fortnight after LeMans and pretty much everyone has signed up for Formula Renault now, just Wayne from the regular Indycar crew that is not racing it. I'm stull unsure yet, but the fact its been put back to the NewYear to accommodate the Indycar exhibition broadcast event and non-championshipp events makes it more possible. I would still like to run something in ACC though if I can.

I'm 100% in for an ACC series if it runs opposite Saturdays of the Renault series especially with winter coming so I should have time to handle both series. I've said it in other threads but with the group we have on here we could have some really good racing on ACC.

Yeah I agree that it could provide some good racing although i've yet to see how bigger lobbies effect the performance. I was hoping there were going to be further updates to optimise the game further as its still far from what it should be. I'm guessing they are just waiting on the new console knowing that that will solve the problems without further improvements. Sucks for those staying with there old console though.
I don't think anyone else from our group will be getting the game now tbh. The lack of anything other than GT is the problem there.

I like it quite a bit more than anything else on console. It's not as easy as PC2, but putting good laps together is more rewarding.
The group on Discord regularly runs 20 person lobbies. The crashes seem no better or worse than PC. Limiting to 16 would probably help, especially since there are dedicated servers.
Xbox One doesnt run any faster than Xbox standard, same frame rates etc. Sucks, but that's good for the people that don't upgrade.
Most of the really fast names I recognize are all at ACC now, aside from the guys getting ready for McLaren Finals. Unless another game comes along to knock off ACC, that's probably going to be where a lot of the Sim racers will be. Just sucks PC3 blows so hard:-/

I've seen done fremerate comparisons between the X and the vanilla One and there is a difference but it reduces with less going on.. for example less cars, less weather effects, etc.
I haven't been back to the Discord I just can't spend time trawling through all the posts in that unorganised mess lol You do find so.e good stuff in them but just too unstructured for me.
I'll try to check of that one with the races to see how the land lies but I think its still not good time for me unless they've changed them.

I need to get on for some LeMans practice for next Saturday but was going to have a little run out with you first but i've just switched on and have yet another bloody update!! They usually take about 15-20 minutes 🙄

Nice one tonight Wayne and Adam. After the initial Spa problem with no brakes that sssion went nicely. Didn't expect to get full grids so that was a nice surprise.
Good racing with you at Brands Wayne, some close racing for most of that 20 minutes. Still frustrating why my SA doesn't improve. No contact in either race and some close racing in both, especially with you in that second and yet it didn't budge while yours jumped by two points. Confused!!
Good win in the Brands race Adam 👍
Be good to get together for some similar regular racing.

I'm glad we were finally able to get even a few of us together to race. After you got off Wayne and I did another race at Brands and I half spun on the second lap at the second to last corner after touching the grass and ended up perpendicular with the track and eventually got blasted by someone and finished last so I had a bit of both lol.
After Wayne got off I hopped back on my Series X to mess around for a bit and it's definitely an improvement even without an update to the game. The frame rate was much improved and seemed like it was probably close to 60 fps. I didn't do enough running to see what kind of improvement it might give but on the little running I did it seemed better.

Yeah I'm not surprised the Series X gives improved performance, all that extra power has to have some benefits in how it plays regardless of whether a game is optimised for it.
Didn't realise the Series X was even out yet as with all this lockdown stuff going on time has just shot by in a flash.

It was a good session, I’m glad it worked out well in the end. I definitely need more seat time with this game as there’s quite a bit that I just can’t get my head around.
